711 E IUIIIIIEBSITIV OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Iss. Commence vent.
The tirst graduating clans descended the
steps of the structure occupied by the Medical
Department of the University of Pennsylvania
with diplomas in their hands, in the year 1768.
Bibeethat period the University has put into
the ranks of the medical faculty over 8,000
practitioners of the healing art. ' ft this morn
ing increased that number by reinforcements
to thp.Munber of one hundred and thirteen.
This Ciass is not unite so large as the
class of the year before. As will be seen be
low? ? its • members come principally
from ' Pennsylvania, Ohio and New
Jersey: but almost every section of the Union
is represented in its ranks. The school is the
legitimate progeny of the University of Edin
burgh. It rated as a University ab initio,
while other institutions were excluded from
sueb distinguished recognition. Its diplomas,
passing current everywhere, were credentials
of value,so cosmopolitan that the prosperity of
the institution from that day to this has stead
ily increased.
As the institution expanded ih usefulness,
the rigidity of its examinations proportion
ately increased. The ordeal through which
the one hundred and thirteengraduates of this
year have 'successfully passed is among . the
severest ever known in this country. It is as
searching as that of any corresponding insti
tution either in England or in Germany.
To this fact may be ascribed the justifiable
complacency of the young gentlemen who
thiarnorning received their parchments at the
Academy of Music. By this time to-morrow
many of them will be on the way to distant
homes. The partings on these occasions are
iMtinally tinged with soberness,roli eyed some
times by the prospect of a reunion with
thegeneral alumni in future years. This was
tIO ease to-day. Alumni' of the institution
Were present from many other, and from some
far distant,places. Their presence imparted
to the occasion such enhanced interest that in
the opinion of many participants the Com
*tenement of this morning was among the
most, if.not the most interesting, ever held by
the graduates of the institution.
• The students and faculty moved from the
hall of the University at precisely 12 o'clock.
They - vrere headed by the officers and prefes
sors of the College Each graduate wore a
badge - of blue. The badges were -directed by
the committee to be margined with silver lace.
They were so made. The committee ordered,
for their own use, a series of badges to be bor
dered with lace of bullion. A knowledge of
- this 'flict raised a not unrighteous row, this
morning, among the graduating class.
Had' the bullion been a - distinction of
merit, the class would have unanimously
thrown up their hats in honor of the wearers.
As it was, they could do nothing of the-kind;
They, this morning, called a meeting to con
sider the subject. The procession moved
down Tenth street to Walnut, and thence to
the Academy of Musie. What the class ob
jected to was that six of their number should
sport . insignia upon their la I pels that the
ill 1111.114[1.110 wvuna ...tvcsal sv no ~,,,. ...au a
badges designatory of appointment as com
mitteemen, but golden , honors conferred by
the University as testimonials of medical
-merit. With three exceptions, the committee
saw the force of this objection. The others
Persisted in • marching with the gold upon ,
their breasts. The three gentlemen were
pointed out to our reporter as Edward Jame
son, Penna.; E. B. Rentz, Penna., and Robert
A. McKinney, of Texas.
The procession entered the Academy at
twenty minutes before one o'clock. The vast
auditorium was filled with the beauty and the
fashion of the city. The Dean and the Pro
vosts walked in. their black silk gowns and
collegiate caps. To the invited guests; as a
matter of course, was assigned the place of
honor
,in the procession. The graduating
class occupied seats in front -of the stage.
What space was left upon the latter by great
pyramids of bouquets, was occupied by the
magnates of the medical profession, and the
guests to whom they then offered all profes
sional honors.
The exercises began with delightful music.
As the procession entered the auditorium, the
orchestra of Mr. Simon Hassler gave " The
University March "—a spirited composition
especially dedidated by Mr. Hassler to the
graduating class of to-day.
Prayer was then offered by Rev. Dr. Beadle,
and after another instalment of sweet music
the distribution of degrees was made.

'The valedictory was then delivered by Prof.
Joseph Leidy, a gentleman to the rearward of
. whose name the letters M. D. and L.L. D. dis
' port themselves in impregnable security. That
we do not publish is because the Professor's
valedictory is his personal property, and that
to report it might be
"Taklu that which would do us no good
And leave him poor indeed."
The assemblage was among the most bril
liant of the season. The orofessors may now
tall back upon their laurels and enjoy, if pos
sible, a period of repose.

BOLDER AND BOLDER.—The fraternity of
thieves was never so bold as at present. To
ride in the Chestnut street cars of an evening
with valuables in your pocket is equivalent to
attracting the attention of some thief. The
fraternity gather their harvest especially on
the nights of performances at the Academy of
Mm,ic, and from passengers in the New York
evening train. Last night thieves were as
active as they were bold. Upon One car alone
we saw four of them. Upon reaching the
A cadeiny,one of the passengers—by no means
a simpleton in other matters—found himself
minus his oTera-glass. It had been 'taken
from his outside pocket while standing in the
centre of the crowded vehicle. Thti detectives
either don't know these thieves or have no
disposition to arrest them. The former we
charitably believe to be the case. If the ap
pointment of the detective force were rested
in hands like those of Chief Kelly or Mr. Ben.
Franklin, the entire' brotherhood of thieves
would be in a flutter. As it now is, they look
upon many of them with no other sentiment
than contempt.
Juisumt M.-ENNEuction.—During the prel
sent season the Junger Mannorchor has given
a series of private soirees. These entertain
ments have been of the most delightful
character, and, in addition to the pleasure
which they have afforded, the members and
their families have contributed greatly to pro
mote harmony, good feeling and social inter
course. The last of the series was given last
night at Musical Fund Hall. There was a
good attendance. Mr. H. G. Runkel acted.as
Master of Ceremonies. The music was under
the direction of Mr. John Greim, of the Ger
mania Orchestra. The programme was well ar
ranged. Dancing commenced at nine o'clock
and was continued until a late hour. As usua ,
with the Germans, everybody participated
and everybody• had a pleasant time. At mid
night a fine supper was served by Mr. John
.Misch, thecaterer of the society. Evetything
passed off in the most agreearde manner.
CnownEm—Things are brisk to-day along
the river front. The army of stevedores looks
more cheerful than for some time past. Pre
parations for pleasure navigation also are
visibly under way. We noticed two steam
pleasure yachts-this morning taking a run to
give.a little exercise to their machinery. What
is true of steam yachts is true also of pleasure
raft propelled by sails. Race street wharf is
particularly lively. The stevedores here are
black men. In discharging salt from the ship.
these gentlemen protect their wool by using
salt Sacks. They slightly call up the idea of so
-many Indian Lascars, or extra dark-hued
Moors.
Mr. A. H. Wright, a base-ball litteratenr of
considerable ability, has been elected seers
tary to the renowned Athletic Club. His pre
decemor, after several years of valuable ser
vice, declined a re-election. Mr. Wright, in a
!set of smashed-up fingers, makes ocular
demonstration of his zeal in the nations
game." He is "Base-Ball Editor of the Sem
i day Mercury."
BROAD SmEr.r.—This thoroughfare, as i.:
well known, is one of the finest in the world.
' and its popularity as a drive is daily increas
ing. Every tine afternoon the street, north
of Coates street, where the Nicolson pave
ment begins, is taken possession of by pleas
ure-teams of every desCription. Whiles() many
vehicles, are going, in both directions—and
some persons are not very particular at what,
rate of speed they drive—accidents are_of very
rare occurrence. This is owing to the very ex•
cellent manner in which the police force,under
Day Sergeant Adam Reese, performs its du
ties. vijritil policemen were detailed to pre
vent fast driving, Broad street was scarcely
safe forany but " fast" teams. By the excel
' lent management •f Sergeant Reese, reckless
- driving on the street has been almost totally
abolished. The presence of a policeman at
every few yards is a sufficient warning to
those who aro disposed to give their " nags"
a full swing.
SUICIDE IN GEUSIANTOWN.—Thomas Trott,
aged CA) years, residing on Jefferson street,
near Clinton, committed suicide by taking
laudanum, on Wednesday morning. He was
employed as engineer in Redles'sturning,shop,
on. Clinton street. Lately he has taken to
drink and for some time has been in a melan
choly mood. On Wednesday morning he pin..
abased a vial of laudanum and wont up stairs
into his room. Subsequently 'the bottle .wa.
discovered by some of the family and medical
aid Was summoned, but it was without avail,
and Trott died at one o'clock iu the afternoon
AtTEMPTED ROBBERIES. —,Last
about eight o'clock, a sneak thief got into the
second stay of the hotel of Francis , Dough
' erty,'Xo.lo North Twelfth street lie lighted
the gns previous tocommencing operations.
• Mrs. Dougherty observed light"and ran up
stairs. thief heard her and escaped
through the secondstory back windoW.
Last night Policeman Ruff, of the Sixth Dis
trict, saw two men on the roof of the house of
Mrs. Lungren N0.12M Chestnut street. The
men Suddenly 'disappeared. The officer rang
the bell and was admitted to the premises. He
found that the men had got into the house
through the trap-door. The fellows were
chased along the roofb of some adjoining
• houses, but finally jumped down on to a flat
and escaped.
• . A TICKET SELLER Anscouns.—Last even-.
ing, Mr. Paul D'Abzac, the French Consul,
went to witness the performance of the French
Drarmitie'Conipauy, at the Amateur Drawing
Room, in Seventeenth street. •Ho purchased
• tickets and tendered in payment a $5O note.
The ticket-seller, John Johnson, said that he
bad not a sufficient amount of change. that
he -would get the note changed, and Mr.
D'Abzac might call at the office after the first
act The call was wade according to appoint
ment but Johnson vas not: to be found. It
Was then discoveredfthat be had • absconded,
, ond, in addition to the $5O note, had pocketed
the entire receipts of the evening, amounting
to $59.
TEE Finn CAVALRY.-The.: officers of the
First Pennsylvania Cavalry
.(Col. Wm.Frish
ninth commanding) held a regular meeting a
few nights ago, and the reports of the several
companies show that they have. weekly drills
and are increasing in number. The regiment
is now composed of 600 men, uniformed and
equipPed,and ready for service. Colonel Frish
mull-has ordered company inspections, and
has detailed Major A. Ramberg and First
Lieutenant F. 31 erke as inspecting officers.
The first annual ball of the regiment will take
place at the National Guards' .Hall, on Mon
; day evening next, and it will, no doubt, be a
handsome affair. . ,
VIOLATING THE REVENUE • LAWS.—Robt.
Smith, cigar -dealer, on Market street, near
Eighteenth, was before United States Com
misioner C. P. Clark to-day, upon the charge
of violating the revenue laws. It is alleged
that 2,100 unstamped cigars were found in his
'place, and also a box containing 100 with an
old stamp on it. Smith says that he , trans
ferred the latter stamp from a bundle to the
box,and that be did not manufacture the 2,100
+cigars, but bought them from a woman. He
was held in $l,OOO bail for trial.
WALKED OVERBOARD.—This morning about
half-past three o'clock an unknown mau, sup
posed to be a German, walked into the II ela
ware at Willow street wharf. He called
lustily for assistance, and Officers Morris and
Clawson, of the Harbor Police, were quickly
on the dock, but before they could render as
sistance the man was drowned. His body
was afterwards recovered. He was about 40

1 4 '.1.1t1i AND NARROW ESCAPE.—Last night
about twelve o'clock a fire occurred in, the

was badly damaged. The family was asleep
at the tithe of the fire, and was, rescued from
the second-story. window by thepolico, assisted
by a number of citizens.
CABELESSICESS.- The awning in front of a
'store No. 1633 Ridge avenue was discovered
to be on fire about 12 o'clock last night. Po
liceman Mahoney, of the Ninth District, saw

recur as U. S. 5-20'e, which now only pay 63,r per cent.
In cunencr.
They are only issued upon each section of the Road as
as fast as the same is completed and in successful opera•
t ion. Over two and a half millions of dollars have been
expended on the .Iload. Eighty-three miles ere about
completed and equipped, and already show largo earn
ings ; and the remainder of the line is rapidly progress
ing toward completion.
The State ef,lowa, through which this road runs. in
one of the richest agricultural Sections in America. Its
large population, extending: vvith surprising rapidity,
and its immense yield of grain. pork; Wool and other'ag•
ricultural productn, create a pressing demand for the,
construction of this road, which affords the best possible
guarantee for tini bondholders, especially as the line
rune through the wealthiest and most thickly populated
section of the State.
The ~,ad also runs through the r irk and growing State
of Alinne.wta. Reference to the map of. the United
States will show that it traverses the most enterprising
and growing portion of the West er and forms onto,* the
great trunk lints in direct communitation with New
York, Chicago and St. Louis, being to the latter city
ninety miles nearer from Northern lowa and all por.
tiona of the !Retie of Minnesota than by any other road
now built or projected; and`also the nearest route from
'Central and Southern lowa.
The road is opened for Weal traffic se rapidly s o con .
structed, and thus RECEIVES EARNINGS ON ITS
COMPLETED SECTIONS GREATLY IN EXCESS
OF THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO PAY THE IN
TEREST UPON ITS BONDS BEFORE THE
ROAD IS FINISHED. The buyer of these B on d s is
therefore guaranteed, by a ilia 'bitsiness already in exist
once on the route of the road, as well as by now current
earnings, and has not to risk any of the contingencies
which always attend the opening of roads in anew and
'unsettled country.
A:limited quantity only of the
are now offered at 93.
After a thorough investigation of the above enter
prise, we recommend those Bonds as a first-class invest
ment,affording absolute safety, and paying an unusually
liberal rate of interest. All marketable securities at
their full price, free of, eonunission and express charges,
received in payment. Pamphlets and maps furnished
on application.

O'FaNT):tAL RAILROAD OF lOWA,
• This railroad runs 234 miles north and south
through the finest and most thickly settled
portion of the magnificent State of lowa, and
:the only link wanting to connect the railway
centres at St.• Louis and St. Paul by an un
broken line, 147 miles shorter than any exist
, Jug route. This road offers many advantages.
The building of the railroad north from St.
Paul to Duluth, at the head of Lake Superior,
where five railroads will soon centre—the COU
struction of the Northern Pacific Railroad,.
'already begun—and the rapid development of
a new and productive country in Minnesota
and the Northwest, must furnish a. large-
Southern traffic. As the Upper Mississippi is
frozen over during the Winter,and its naviga
tion is often uncertain dUring the Summer,
from low water; this road must have at all
times a large amount of transportation, and a:
monopoly of the . husinoss . at swim sealQus of
the year. • Its connections with other lines in-,
terested by mutual • ownership or running sr.;
rangements, will give it almost 'the entire
north and south travel between its terminal
points and their vicinity.
This road will have a great advantage over
any other Western line in carrying the best
quality of coal from where it is abundant in
Southern lowa to Northern lowa and Minne
sota, where none is to be found, and in secur-
ing return freights of lumber, for which the
demand is very great.

At 95, Free from Tax.
Forty-six miles of the line are just com
pleted, and eighty-eight miles more aro
graded. An abundant supply of iron, ties,
and other materials has been contracted for.
The Company hive a large and dady increas
ingsurplus.of money on hand, and the stock
subecriptions, and the sales of bonds, give
them ample means to push the work forward,
so that, with favorable weather, it is expected
that the whole line will' be completed this
season.
SECURITY OF THE, INVESTMENT•
no tar as we can iearn, every completed
railroad in the Northwest is not only earning
:the interest on its bonds, but a dividend on
its stock, and we believe the CENTRAL OF
lOWA Must occupy an equally strong firtan 7
`ciai position.
The amount of Bonds to be issued is but
$lO,OOO per mile,or less than four millions,in ail
Of which over One Million have
already been Sold.
